Chapter 106 – Logue Town
I fucked Tashigi for a solid hour. Afterward, she sprawled tiredly across the bed, eyes fixed on me as I began to dress.
"Do you want to come
with me and sail on my ship?"
I paused, waiting for
her response—but none came, even after a long, heavy silence.
"Why don't you and your whole crew become Marines instead? You haven't committed any real crimes. In fact, you've saved many villages and are true heroes. If you want, I can recommend you to Marine Headquarters. With your strength and potential, I'm sure the Fleet Admiral would approve. The Marines could even remove your bounties."
"If it had been before, I wouldn't have minded becoming a Marine. But after meeting Captain Lily, I don't think she would ever leave piracy—and I can't abandon the crew either. Besides, if you truly want to fulfill your dream of collecting all the famous swords, you have to sail the seas. Staying in one place as a small marine officer will never let you achieve that."
"Are you looking down on my dream? Do you think I'll never be able to collect them? You weren't saying that when we were having sex earlier."
"No, I'm not looking down on your dream. I'm just stating the fact: staying in one place means you'll never find those treasures. You have to explore, defeat stronger enemies, and take the swords from them. Or… there's another method."
"Huh? Another method?"
"You could simply become my woman. Then I'll collect the swords for you. All you have to do is have sex to me whenever we meet. You could even pretend to be Marine chasing pirates. That way we'd have a secret affair — we could keep having sex with each other, and you would still have extra time to help fulfill your dream."
Tashigi's face flushed bright red at the suggestion. Deep down, though, she liked the idea even more.
After having with him, she didn't want to let him go. After all, there were hardly any men on the seas who could satisfy her the way he did — and finding a man who could truly please a woman in bed was rarer than collecting all the famous swords or even finding the One Piece itself.
She was about to reply when a commotion erupted outside in the street. Sensing something wrong, I activated his Observation Haki to locate my crew members.
I searched for Lily first — she was the one most likely to cause trouble — and sure enough, she was at the execution platform stirring up problems.
"Tashigi, let's talk as we walk to the execution platform."
Tashigi hesitated for a moment, but eventually she followed me.
Once we left the inn, she suddenly challenged me to a sword duel.
"If I defeat you, you'll stop being a pirate and join me as a Marine. You want adventure, right? Then join the Navy — we can sail together and have all the adventure you want."
I smirked as I heard her words. She really wanted me to become a pirate.
"Maybe because she wants my dick all the time?'
"You know you can't beat me in a sword fight. But if it's another kind of duel… there's one you might actually win."
I stepped close, pulled her into a hug, and leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"Or you could ask some female marines for help. Then maybe you could keep me locked up in your private Impel Down cell. You could torture me however you like — imagine ropes and whips on my body."
I whispered something filthy, and she blushed furiously. She tried to punch me lightly while muttering, "You really are a bad, evil pirate."
She was listening seriously, thinking I was about to say something important, only to be caught completely off guard by my shameless suggestion. And yet… the idea of keeping me all to herself in a private room clearly affected her. I could see it in her flustered reaction, and her nipples have become hard under her shirt.
After teasing her enough, I looked at her seriously.
"Have you decided what you're going to do? You could pretend to chase us across the Grand Line. That way you'd have your chance to collect the famous swords, and we could meet in secret to enjoy each other."
She hesitated listening to my suggestion. I was sure that she was seriously considering it.
"Let me think about it for a while. It's not that I don't want to go to the Grand Line — it's just that my strength is still too weak for it."
"Then let's part ways here," I said calmly. "It seems my captain is in some trouble. Take your time — we're not in a hurry. And you're right, your current strength is far from Grand Line level, but I'll give you one last gift."
I pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her deeply. Then I handed her several potions from the system store — strength, stamina, agility, and vitality — along with the famous Yubashiri sword to kick-start her dream.
"Take these potions; they'll help boost your strength. And this sword will be the first step toward collecting all the famous blades."
The moment our lips met, I felt her body heat and heartbeat faster. When I finally pulled away, her expression was flushed and unsteady. She was clearly horny and wanted another round of sex.
"After a kiss that hot, how could I not want to follow you for more?" she said with a shy smile. "You really are an evil pirate."
Instead of heading toward the execution platform with me, Tashigi turned around and walked back toward her house.
…
…
[Scene Change]
Lily was standing on the execution platform. She spread her arms wide toward the sky and, with her signature goofy laugh, shouted at the top of her lungs.
"I AM GOING TO BE THE PIRATE QUEEN!!"
Lily stood there with her arms spread wide, face tilted upward, smiling brightly as the heavenly light bathed her. It was like a spotlight from the heavens shining directly on her right after her bold declaration — as though she had been chosen by the skies to become the next Pirate Queen.
Everyone who witnessed it stood frozen. They had their mouths agape in utter shock at how they could declare such a statement.
Even Smoker, who had just arrived at the plaza, was stunned. His cigar slipped from his lips and fell to the ground as he stared in disbelief.
While the crowd remained paralyzed, Lily leaped off the platform, landed on the ground, and immediately started running.
"I have to escape — the Marines are surrounding this place! Otherwise Alex will really get angry because I got in trouble again!"
In the original manga, Buggy had tried to execute her on the execution platform of the Pirate King, only for lightning to strike and save the day. But my presence seemed to have altered that dramatic moment — no Buggy, no lightning, no theatrical execution. Yet the Marines still targeted Lily, just as they had in the story.
As Lily fled, hundreds upon hundreds of Marines flooded the plaza, encircling her. The civilians, still dazed from the heavenly light, finally snapped out of their stupor.
"Lily, you really live up to your name for causing trouble. I told you we should just sail out of Logue Town quietly and continue our adventure in the Grand Line. But no — now you're surrounded by at least a thousand Marines."
I said as I walked toward her. I was scolding her, but I was not angry. I had expected this much chaos from her.
"No matter how many there are, they won't stop us from continuing our adventure!" Lily grinned widely.
"You don't need to waste time fighting weaklings. I've already told Nami, Kaya, and Kuina to head to the ship — we're setting sail. Let's go too."
Lily smiled and asked, "Then how are we going to break through their ranks if we don't fight?"
"Let me show you the power of the third type of Haki. Just watch and learn."
I smiled at her as I unleashed my Conqueror's Haki toward the Marines.
Moments later, right in front of Lily, the soldiers began losing consciousness. One after another they collapsed, foam bubbling from their mouths as they hit the ground.
"Wow, how did you do that?! Please teach me!!"
Lily's eyes sparkled with excitement. I had only explained two types of Haki to the girls before in detail. I had mentioned Conqueror's Haki but not explained to them how it works.
"I'll explain later. Let's move for now."
I started running with her after the marines were down.
At that moment, white smoke surged toward us, trying to ensnare us. I noticed it in time and punched straight through with Armament Haki.
Once the smoke and force dissipated, I saw who had attacked — the only Marine still standing after my Conqueror's Haki.
"Captain Smoker, please let us go. I don't want to beat you until your mother doesn't recognize you."
"So you've heard of me. I suppose I should be flattered," Smoker sneered, "considering the two of you have the highest bounties in East Blue."
"Either way, you're not going anywhere. I'm arresting you here." Smoker's expression was deadly serious. He was facing two pirates with 40 million and 30 million berry bounties.
Worse, I could use Armament Haki and even possessed Conqueror's Haki — a power most strong pirates in the Grand Line didn't have.
Smoker knew that letting them escape would allow them to become major threats to the Marines in the future. For the sake of justice, he resolved to give it everything he had.
